Peer Support GroupsMna Mna Choir Meet every Thursday in LINC at 8pm Older Womens Group Parents Group Are you Gay and a parent? Do you think it might be a good idea to have a Parents Group as support and to organise various activities throughout the summer for you and your children? We have had some interest from both male and female parents from outside of the LINC community, but we would like to hear of LINC community members who may want to get involved. If you think this could be you then please contact Tina in LINC and we can have an informal conversation to see where we can go to from here. 021 4808600 or e-mail tina@linc.ie

New LGBT Parents Support Group in South EastEverywhere in Ireland, LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) families are on the rise and children of LGBT parents are recognized for their psychological strength, their unique capacity to express emotions and their appreciation for social diversity. In short, LGBT parents raising children are wonderful examples of what makes family. Still, there are a number of unique challenges that LGBT families face that other families do not. Issues like having to decide when to “come out” to their children about their sexual orientation or gender identity; having to weigh the pros and cons of disclosing the gender characteristics of their family to the public; and having to deal with their children being bullied in school because their parents are LGBT. There is a new LGBT parents group that has started up in the South East. Its mission is to provide support for LGBT parents, their children and their families through fun, peer support and shared experiences. The group also works to raise awareness of the issues that affect LGBT parents and their children. The group meets once a month in Waterford, and welcomes anyone interested in attending the meetings or helping to organise the fun events. If you’re interested in participating, contact Kevin at lgbtparentswaterford@gmail.com or at 086 159 5294
